### 1/5 — Need to pay to open App. Not free!

*2015-04-21, version 3.0.10*

Have to pay to open the free App to try. End up didn't pay & of course can't rate!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2015-03-18, version 3.0.9*

I just bought this app, it takes so long and download nothing! Want my money back!

### 1/5 — meh

*2012-06-20*

Not a good travel guide. Just provides basic info. Not enogh details. Map is just too plain. List of places is not that great. I can find more, also free, info by Googling and Yelping. So not worth $4.99.

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2023-04-24, version 3.0.22*

Asking payment for what? Free information availabe online

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-16*

Tried signing in with all three options offered. Facebook and Apple did not work. The Google option just crashes the app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-05-15, version 3.0.20*

It’s advertised as a free app, but you can’t do anything unless you pay the upgrade fee. 

Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — This is a joke, right?

*2019-02-26, version 3.0.20*

One cannot do a single thing within this app without purchasing a “premium” account.
Seems quite lame anyway.

### 1/5 — What a miserable app!

*2018-06-08*

I thought I was reviewing an early version of an app for my organization, this one came up as the only possibility because my filter was set it iPad only. 

Photos have no context, voice narration is slow and mechanical. In a half hour review, I was asked 13 times to upgrade. I can’t think of any reason to pay for this drek.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as this improvement is done. However, if you did not like the app you can always get your money back. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-03-12*

Definitely nit worth 9 cents let alone $1.99. Maps not interactive. Very little real information.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as the work is done. Thank you.

On the other hand, if you are not happy with the product we can always process a refund. Please email us to contact@etips.com and we can work it from there. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience that this might have caused you.

### 1/5 — Don't bother!

*2017-02-25*

App makes you immediately pay $2.99 to access a map. A MAP!!

### 1/5 — Pretty facade that crashes

*2016-07-13*

The app looks all snazzy at first, but while it has pretty pictures, it's actual function is weak. It crashes often in many of its menus and every time when trying to implement augmented reality functions. Don't waste your money. 
Asked for a refund and am waiting to hear back.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2015-11-08*

You have to pay $1.99 to open a map.

### 1/5 — Misleading and Waste of Time

*2015-07-18, version 3.0.10*

Basically useless! You can only view pictures when you open the app. Need to pay upfront if you want to use its features. Who would be stupid enough to do so if users can't even try out any feature? Really smart design! Instead of having one app, the developer chooses to create one app for every city cluttering your home screen; seems trying to milk out their users. So in this regard, I'll give the same rating and review for every one of their apps that I have regrettably downloaded.

### 5/5 — Great city !!!

*2024-12-24, version 3.0.22*

I travelled there 3 years in a row around 10 years ago, and it’s the only city I’ve found that I would like to live in.
Fantastic place for a “vacation”, and as a “base camp” for visiting other parts of Canada and nearby Alaska.
The only down sides for me are that it’s so far from the UK, and expensive.
Never mind, I still have my memories of it.

### 5/5 — Visiting Vancouver

*2022-03-31*

Ver nice app

### 3/5 — Pretty Photos - not much else

*2015-04-12*

What you see in the free version is the best part - beautiful pictures of Vancouver.

I paid the $1.99 to unlock, and was very disappointed.  The street and transit maps are really basic.  The tour descriptions are short, and do not link to the maps.

My suggestion - enjoy the photos, get a better map and guide, and visit Vancouver.  But skip the in-app purchase.

### 2/5 — Could be a good app

*2016-11-10*

Pretty much useless without buy it, and it forces you to buy; bad strategy
